This will not make you laugh, #WithFewExceptions.
President Donald Trumpβs tax lawyers issued a statement on Friday thatβs raised quite a few eyebrows. According to his legal team, our current commander in chief has not received any income from Russian sources over the past 10 years, βwith a few exceptions.β
BREAKING: Trump lawyer: Tax returns from past 10 years show no "income of any type from Russian sources," with few exceptions.

Uh, OK?
The fine folks of Twitter were quick to point out that adding the phrase βwith a few exceptionsβ completely negates any statement that precedes it.
Point of order: It is not possible to have nothing AND few exceptions.

You either have nothing, or you a few exceptions.
Soon after the news broke, the hashtag #WithFewExceptions began to trend.
